This is one of my favorite riddles....
The Missing Dollar
Three guys walked into a hotel. They got one room for $30. They each paid $10 and went up to their room. The manager realized that he made a mistake and that the room was really only $25. So he gave the bellhop five $1 bills to take up to the men. While the bellhop was riding up to the sixth floor in the elevator he said to himself, "Self, I can't give them $5 because I can't split $5 evenly between three people." So he decided to stick two dollars in his pocket and then he gave $1 back to each of the men.
That means they all paid $9 for the room. $9 times 3 equals $27 plus the $2 that the bellhop stuck in his pocket which equals $29.... What happened to the missing dollar?
